Welch Village Resort is proud to announce the 1st Annual Sunset Jam presented by Pinewski’s Ski Shop. The competition will be held on Saturday, March 15th. There will be 4 divisions: Men’s Ski, Women’s Ski, Men’s Snowboard, and Women’s Snowboard. Winners for each division will be awarded prizes from a variety of sponsors.
Registration will be held on the day from 2:00 – 4:00pm. Practice will be held from 4:00pm – 5: 30pm. Depending on the number of competitors, competition will start at 6pm with one, possibly 2 qualifying rounds. After the qualifying rounds, the final round format will be Head-to-Head. There will be a $20 registration fee to compete along with the purchase of a $25 lift ticket. All competitors will also be required to wear helmets and sign a waiver. All participants under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian signature.
Welch Village plans to provide a venue for this competition that will create an atmosphere rarely seen in the Midwest. Ski and Snowboard videos will be projected on a giant 20ft. screen and a 8 speaker sound system. In addition, a live band will perform leading up to the competition with a DJ taking over from there.
Come out and be a part of the newest and finest park competition in the Midwest.
